Malnutrition is an increasing menace in #SouthSudan and by the end of this year, up to 50,000 children could die if enough action isnt taken. In order to prevent this looming disaster, UNICEF is working around the clock to make sure supplies are reaching communities even in the most remote areas. A charter plane arrived this morning at Juba International Airport carrying 2,575 cartons of “Plumpy Nut” ready to eat therapeutic food to treat malnourished children. This was the last flight in a series of four, with a total of 10,300 Plumpy Nut cartons being sent to different locations to treat malnourished children. CREDIT: UNICEF/RICARDO PIRES
